  • I think unless the enemy is also armed with a single edged, blunt tipped, flat handled sword then these would be a good way to get your belly cut.

  • Nice movings for training.

  • well done, nice. I learned from it!

  • I don't know mutch about japanese swordsmanship i'm european longsword student, but i see you are weak on legs. Train footing first, all power and speed of swordfight is hidden in how you use legs. Dont be too "inline" go sideways. I know that in kendo or fencing its only attacks in center line, but thats false, halfstep sideways and counterstrike is deadly for swordsman that is too inline. Also i see you "hang" after each strike. You have to go from one strike to another without any hesitation.

  • i wonder about kneeling at the moment of striking ( about 1:10 )

    has any one found aby sense in this ??

  • Not bad! I like that there is a definite end point in your strokes...That is good. On thing that you might want to work on in jaseh (stance), try to center your body more, and sink into each cut. Also remember that the sword cuts with a drawing motion, not straight chops, you must pull the blade through your target to be effective. Lastly, try to relax your upper body more...Only tense your muscles on the very last moments of your stroke, then relax again. Keep training!
